Tomasz,
I know you must have heard this many times before, but I just have to
add my voice to the chorus of appreciative users.
It is a real treat, and an honor as well, to see one of one's ideas
(even if only a small one) incorporated into this amazing piece of
Software.
Thank you for creating - and for continuing to create - AmiBroker,
and for involving us, your userbase, and our ideas, in the ongoing
growth, evolution, and maturation of this wonderful product.
Best Regards,
Nick Molchanoff
